Tour de Tahoe next Sunday

This Sunday I will ride in the Tour de Tahoe, a 72-mile (116 km) ride around Lake Tahoe, a large freshwater lake in the Sierra Nevada mountains in eastern California and Nevada.  At one time there were six of us planning to go; as of now only three (and I’m not entirely sure about the other two ...).  Regardless I will go ...

I had a couple of spills on a short training ride last night - the usual problem with clipless pedals (which are like ski bindings): problems getting out of them quickly when having to suddenly stop.  Fortunately only scraped knees and a bit of soreness ...

I plan to wear my new Garmin so I can post a map of the ride next week.
